Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito has expressed his delight following the outcome of the CAF Confederation Cup draw which has paired them against Guinean side Milo FC de Kankan in the first round of the competition.
Having won the MTN FA Cup following their victory over King Faisal last month the ‘Still Believe’ lads earned qualification to represent Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup. The team will be making their debut appearance against the Guinean side whose coach has already spoken with optimism ahead of the clash.
Karim Zito on the other hand believes it is a draw that gives both teams fair opportunity to test each other’s strength given their level of pedigree.
According to him, Milo FC are not one of those teams which had earned massive recognition.
However, while expressing his satisfaction with the draw and noting that Milo FC is a lesser-known team Karim Zito said they are unquestionably a good and deserving opponent, making it an intriguing clash for Dreams FC.
“It is a fair draw the reason why I am saying it is a fair draw is this is my first day of hearing Milo FC from Guinea. And then Dreams FC is another young club when I was playing football we didn’t know Milo FC,” he told Peace FM.
“So I have also been to Guinea while working with Kotoko and it looks like our opponents are not one of the notable clubs which existed back then.
“We may have been pitted against Milo FC which might be a young side but that may no longer matter. Because any team that gets to this level in Africa Football cannot be underestimated.
The first preliminary round matches are scheduled between August 18th to 20th for the first leg, and August 25th to 27th for the second leg.
